Transfer of municipal nursery schools to the private sector About future business plan

In Yokohama-shi, childcare facilities in the city cooperate and work on "improvement of the quality of childcare" for healthy growth of child.

At present, childcare needs are diversifying and the situation surrounding child care is changing, so in the future, municipal nursery schools and private daycare centers will have their respective roles and will work to provide higher quality childcare. Need to go.

For this reason, in Yokohama City, 54 of the municipal nursery schools have been designated as "Network Secretariat Gardens", and a network-only nursery teachers who will serve as "bridges" with local private nursery schools, etc. We are working to improve the quality of childcare in the entire childcare facility.

For municipal nursery schools other than the "Network Secretariat Garden", in February 2015, we formulated a medium- to long-term business plan for the private sector transfer.

In addition, Kikuna Nursery School (Kohoku Ward) and Koda Nursery School (Sakae Ward), which are subject to transfer, are difficult to transfer by conventional methods, so for the time being, they will be operated as municipal nursery schools until 2026. During that time, we will consider various directions.
